“I thank the gentleman for yielding. On behalf of the Pennsylvania Republican delegation, I rise today to welcome the newest member of the Pennsylvania delegation, representing the 18th District, Conor Lamb. As Mike mentioned, he continues the Lamb family tradition of public service and politics. Again, as a prosecutor and as a marine, we thank him for his service to his nation. I would also like to point out that Conor and I share a unique bond. Obviously, both of our families have been involved in public service and politics for a number of years. We both hail from western Pennsylvania, the Lambs from the South Hills, the Shusters from the Mon Valley; we share counties in our districts; we were both elected in a special election; but most importantly--most importantly--we come from the same side of the aisle: Steelers fans, not Eagles. Western Pennsylvania is in our blood, and we like to think the importance of family, understanding the value of hard work, and, of course, rooting for the black and gold are what we share with our constituents back home. Conor, I look forward to working with you, and on behalf of all the Republicans in the House of Representatives, I welcome you to the House of Representatives. Welcome, Congressman Lamb.”
